Famous quotes containing the words business and/or economics:

    “We are in danger ... of making our cities places where business goes on but where life, in its real sense, is lost.”
    —Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)

    “The animals that depend on instinct have an inherent knowledge of the laws of economics and of how to apply them; Man, with his powers of reason, has reduced economics to the level of a farce which is at once funnier and more tragic than Tobacco Road.”
    —James Thurber (1894–1961)
